From there, the hosts pick the best team from each major conference, posing the question, "Does anyone actually want to win the ACC?" Switching gears to the diamond, the newly released Contemporary Hall of Fame baseball ballot brings the discussion about who truly deserves to get in versus who they predict will get in. Brent blind ranks the best cover songs from Luke Combs to Whitney Houston. All the while, listeners get treated to the hosts’ live commentary as they follow the Gamecocks men's basketball team pulling off a dramatic overtime comeback against Southern Miss!
